Builder's Guide to Hot-Dry & Mixed-Dry Climates

Call the JHA or local law enforcement and ask if discharging a firearm within the jurisdiction's limits is permitted; this is always my first step. Second step is to talk cost, ventilation, and lead abatement, as @GeneDavis has pointed out. Third is to ask if they have children living in the house, and inform them of the lead dust residue that will exit the range, clinging to their clothes and shoes.

Two suggestions: 1) investigate using a fill pattern (room specification dbx) if the demo area is the entire room 2) if not the entire room, maybe use a material region

One possibility is to check the Dimension Defaults for the Default Set you are using: Another possible solution is to select the Extension - not the horizontal dimension line - and adjust it's length by moving the highlighted grip handle:

1. Shoot a Cross-Section view and place an insulation CAD Box: 2. Create a CAD Detail from View. This turns the insulation line into a polyline comprised of arcs and such: 3. This polyline can be easily shaped to fit roof slopes by dragging the center points of the arcs:

Here's a library with two versions: full polys (53,987) and reduced polys (21,140). I don't have the hardware to test the light settings, so you'll have to tweak those no doubt. Embra.calibz

Maybe the OP is referring to the numbers that appear when the dimension line is selected:

Step 1: Open Default Settings>Floors and Rooms>Floor Levels>Floor 0 Step 2: Set the Floor 0 Defaults>Structure>Absolute Elevations>Floor value to 0' Step 3: Set the Floor 0 Defaults>Structure>Relative Heights>Stem Wall value to 4' Step 4: In Plan View, go to Level 0, select each Room in turn and make sure all the Absolute Elevation and Relative Heights wrenches are checked. Step 5: Select all the Foundation Walls and ensure that the Wall Specification>Structure>Default Wall Heights>Default Wall Top Height and Default Wall Bottom Height are checked. Step 6: Go to Level 1 and do the same for all the Exterior Walls, except for the kitchen bump-out. These steps should take you most of the way there, though you may have to mess around with the kitchen bump-out. You may also want to investigate this setting for the Foundation Walls: Wall Specification>Structure>Platform Intersections>Ceiling Platform>Hang Floor Platform Above on Wall.

If you're referring to using the Wall Specification dbx General>General>Terrain Retaining Wall checkbox, then yes.

Before you change the wall type or definition, set The Resize About to Main Layer Inside.

Turn off "Use Special Snapping"

I am unfamiliar with Home Designer Suite. If you are planning on using 24' manufactured trusses, then the out-to-out dimension between the exterior wall framing should be 24'. For purposes of truss design, 99% of the time you will ignore everything (sheathing, siding, etc.) beyond the outside face of the framing (wall studs).

Just curious. What is the advantage to this strategy? What problem does it solve that an invisible wall does not?
